Re: [Vala] Should be warning(maybe error) when method with [ReturnsModifiedPointer] is called from unowned variable

Yes, now I see it. I guess that it might be error specific to implementation of GLib.SList. In example that you gave, same behaviour can be seen when removing first item from other list (given_list). If it is first item, list you were modifying works fine, but other seems to be broken (it is the

Re: [Vala] Should be warning(maybe error) when method with [ReturnsModifiedPointer] is called from unowned variable

I am confused here. What [ReturnsModifiedPointer] has to do with copying/referencing an object? With GLib.SList list = given_list; you do not create a copy of an object but owned reference/pointer. And if you do anything to that reference, you will modify given_list too. And in most cases not

Re: [Vala] Setting and getting properties at the same time

I think that it is pretty consistent and expected behaviour not only in Vala but in other languages as well (as long as they allow such things). I would be worried if it would work other way around. Example: int x, y; x = 2; y = x = 3; I expect that both y and x will have same value, 3. I would

[Vala] { private set; public get; } with structs' methods

Hi, All here below may be my misconception of { private set; public get; } but I still want to share it. Recently I run into problem with calling methods on structs that have { private set; public get; } accessibility (well, I run into it every now and then :( but now as I know about it, I am no

Re: [Vala] How to compile Vala using MingW under Windows

I learned that under Windows you need to provide some extra info about libs you're using. For linux I have this: valac -o Game --pkg gee-1.0 --pkg gl --pkg libglfw --pkg glu --pkg libxml-2.0 --pkg gio-2.0 \ ... (other lines, source files mostly) For Windows: valac -o Game --pkg gee-1.0 --pkg gl

[Vala] interfaces sharing methods

Hi, Recently I run into a problem of interfaces sharing methods. I have two interfaces that have method of the same name, same result, same parameter list - it is done on purpose this way, so interfaces would require such method to be implemented. It compiles fine. But it crushes when run. I

Re: [Vala] Vala on Windows

Hi, Try disabling vapigen compilation, ie. ./configure --disable-vapigen (You of course need to compile from source) Works for me, as I don't use that tool :) And as far as I looked into the code (and as much as I remember), vapigen uses posix threading when going through files, but I might be
